LIBEL.
“I have been insulted! I wish to take action! I want damages!” roared the man as he dashed into the solicitor’s office.
‘‘What is your trouble?” inquired the solicitor.
“I am a violin-player, and for the last two months I have been the collector in the Shrimpton Band. Every night I have gone round with the p.ate, and now they have advertised for a new man!”
‘‘Still, that is not an insult. It is no libel, surely?” ‘‘Yes, it is. It’s the way they advertise.”
‘‘What did they say?” “Que-armed men only need apply.”
